This is the first time for me so I wasn't really sure why, I have been kind of learning on the go basically while I have been doing this nothing high tech. But is it possible that maybe the problem is too much light?? Maybe a problem with the placement of the light? I have 2 grow lights that I just bought at wal-mart that are florescent lights set up in the corner of my room and the plant is leaning and the leaves themselves are actually starting to curl down a little bit.
I'll post pics tonight I Just took a couple of them... and yea they are just those basic grow lights that are sold at wal-mart but I also have a regular light on it to give it some heat and that possibly could be hurting the plant. I put my hand right above the top of the plant to see what kind of temperature the plant was dealing with and it seemed to be warmer than room temp but not really that hot... pics coming soon
That regular light bulb you got in there to add heat. why?
i stopped using it about a week ago after I learned that it doesn't necessarily help to keep it hot all the time, that was just the impression I had that it would thrive in higher temperatures.. and no I don't have any holes in the bottom of the containers that hold soil, I'm doing it in my room and I'm not really sure of the best way of going about it seeing that I have limited room and resources. If there's something that I can pick up at a store or soemthing liek that I will give it a shot but I have looked around at dept. stores without really finding anything that I woudl think will help.
HPS lights produce high-intensity light which has good foliar penetration and will produce dense, heavy buds. The low-intensity light from fluoros tends to produce small, wispy, fluffy buds with low weight.
nope... adding more low intensity lamps doesn't increase light intensity. It effectively increases the volume of light but not the 'force' with which they're hitting the plants. Each tube, flo or HPS, will have a certain amt of light leaving them from their given surface area. When you add flo tubes, you're adding surface area and more low intensity light, but not improving the foliar penetration.
